    Now, IMHO Scotch is not Whiskey, and since that particular single malt (i love single malts) is heavy I'm guessing he recommended a splash of water. Neat is not the recommended consumption method any way, should be on rocks with a tiny tiny splash. This will accentuate the true Scotch flavor without taking away from the experience. Agin this is just my opinion as a Scatch drinker.

    I'm pretty sure the bottle says whisky right on it? She is correct. And I will challange you to say that the recommended consumption method is not neat. By adding ice you are adding water that is uncontrolled dilution. If you want it chilled, add Whisky stones. But, Neat is the way to go. a touch of water if you need it, but not all Scotch or whiskey needs water. And, i think adding ice does take away the experience because the last sips of your scotch will be completely watered down as your ice melts. give it a shot with some water...Point goes to unicorn

    To each his own, but I agree with Rome on both points. I've referred to Scotch as just Whisky on several occasions. I also drink it neat for the reasons listed above, but also because I find if Whisky is too cold, the flavor losses something for me. But again, how you drink it is totally up to you. Hell, I also refuse to use a punch on a cigar. Different strokes....

    I totally agree with you everyone likes something different! In cigars ,liquor coffee.when it comes to scotch I like famous grouse with a splash of seltzer and a few whiskey stones.and I sip it.that's just me.

    What this man said. I would never dream of pouring good whisky over ice.

    I drink my secret brown liquor by secret method. I don't tell anybody because people got these ideas about what they think is right and wrong and what's better and what they'd never do, so if you ever see me drinking brownish liquid,........it's just sweet tea. Yep, I drink sweet tea from a low-ball glass. Yes, I do.

    Oh well, good point there! I love tea. I've been sucked into the Teavana downward spiral.
  • Rob1110Rob1110 Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 1,454
    If you're a fan of Teavana, try Adagio.com. They're fresher, cheaper and shipping is reasonable and I usually receive my order within a 2-3 days. Been a long-time customer of Adagio, shopped Teavana once......once.

    And thank you, Bandy! We've had some good conversations about Rum. Did I ever mention the Dos Maderas 5+5? Fantastic stuff if you can find it.
